Schuh Farm is an eclectic mix of produce, flowers, collectibles, and ice cream |
We decided that after I finished work on Monday, we'd head back over to RoozenGaarde to see how far the blooms had advanced in three days. The weather cooperated and greeted us with sunshine. Our first stop was Schuh Farms. They specialize in rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries, loganberries, tayberries, asparagus, peas, lettuce, corn, lettuce, green beans, pickling cukes, winter squash, cabbage, pumpkins, and much more.

Laura happy to be out. |

I might be throwing too much away. In the future, I'm screwing it to the fence. |
|
A few of the critters to remind folks it is a farm. |
|
The gardens are less formal when compared to other places.😉 |
|
The ice cream was very good |
|
Everyone should have a combination wheelbarrow, trash can, and water pump. |

An extended stay, we had three weeks, provides one the opportunity to observe both change and patterns. While only three days had passed since our previous visit, it was amazing to see how much more of the gardens at Roozengaarde had come into bloom. Getting to see it in the bright sunshine was an added bonus because the colors really popped.

Vibrant is the word I'd use to describe the colors |
As a gardener, I love to incorporate objects into the garden. The weathered stump below is perfectly nestled amongst the flowers, lending a sense of age to the garden.

Laura and I had a wonderful time. It was well worth the second trip to the gardens to see all the changes. Ah, the advantages of an extended stay in the motorhome.
Live
